Kids Craft – Baby Yoda Cinnamon Hang Ups

by

When I came across these Baby Yoda hangups I knew I had to feature them on our Kids Craft blog. We have been getting so many requests for easy Yoda projects. It seems most of the Yoda crafts out there at Crochet Yoda Or Knitted Yoda and the kids are missing out or are they? We have these printable Yoda Bookmarks already on the page.

So back to the original craft, these cinnamon hangups are adorable and don’t be fooled into thinking they are JUST for Christmas, these little guys would be cute hanging up any time of the year. They would also make great Star wars Baby Yoda take-home gifts for a party too.  In fact, the kids could make them at the party themselves.  You will need an Angel cookie cutter if you don’t already have one in your Christmas cookie stash, of course, you could use an actual Yoda Cookie cutter too but where would the DIY fun be in that?

I actually love all the Yoda crafts coming about, cause it means that more boys are getting involved in making their own crafts and items. So often boys crafts are overlooked but Yoda is changing that.

Hanukkah Unit Studies for Kids

Learning about Hanukkah is important for people of all faiths as a reminder that December isn’t just about Christmas and that their are many other important holidays that happen during this time. Hanukkah unit studies can give you ideas for incorporating the holiday into your holiday studies that happen in December, or to use at home for learning about people of different faiths.

Homeschool Superfreak has a lot of basic ideas for how to build a Hanukkah unit study, as well as FAQs about what Hanukkah is and why it is celebrated. This list is a good stargint point but doesn’t include all the details you’ll need. For example it says you can play the dreidel game but doesn’t explain how to do that or why it’s important. (If you need that information, this post from Mama Smiles is a good source.)

Teachers Pay Teachers has lots of great lesson plans and activities if you’re willing to pay a little bit to get some good content. Two I really like are this Hanukkah PowerPoint presentation from Shelia Melton, which provides a good overview of traditions, food and the history of Hanukkah; and a virtual field trip to Jerusalem from MagiCore, which includes lots of videos showing the city and activities like playing dreidel, drawing a menorah and making latkes. It’s a Google Drive folder and also includes writing activities and more for kids in second to fifth grade.

Kids Activities Blog has some simple printables with facts about Hanukkah and things kids can color in like a Star of David, sufganiyots (jelly doughnuts) and a menorah. These are great for learning the basics.

Homeschool Giveaways has a printable ebook about Hanukkah complete with questions kids can answer after they read. This would be a good one for older kids with good reading comprehension.

NurtureStore’s Hanukkah unit study includes a printable mini book, tons of crafts, as well as math and writing activities. I love the dominoes game that’s part of the unit.
